re-eleeted President, and General SANTANDIR Vice President of Colombia. The impeachment of Gen eral PARz on account of his proceedings at the Car recces had been determined upon by the House of Representatives of that Republic. In our Paper of Saturday, we made some observa tions on the subject of Duelling, and called on our brave countrymen who had served in the Peninsula, to come forward and enter their protest against the prac tise, as being the only persons who could do so without an imputation of cowardice. By mistake, the words " or elsewhere" were omitted after Peninsula ; but no one can suppose that we intentionally excepted our gallant Navy, the heroes of Waterloo, or, in short, any who have passed through, what BUONAPARTE called, "le bapame de feu." 'The recent 'publication of Captain MAITLAND'S Journal of the occurrences on board the Bellerophon, While BUoNApARTE was in that ship, seems to have Partly revived the curiosity of some persons to learn every thing done or said by that person ; - at least it appears to have inspired a laudable desire in the news- Papers to* furnish that information, and the example will Probably, as heretofore, be industriously followed by Reviews. and Magazines. After the very extraor- . diNiry part acted by the gentleman in. question, it is not matter for surprize that there should be sot* . relish for anecdotes concerning him ; hut we cannot much approve the eagerness we 'have witnessed to give, and to receive, his sayings upon all linds of subjects. We will not quarrel with those whO greedily devour any sort of literary food set before them, whatever preten sions it may have to truth or correctness, provided it be entertaining ; but we pity any one who reads the sayings of IIuoIiAPARTE as accurate representations . Of his thoughts,. or more especially . 0 containing, on his part, earlc om. of statement or soundness of judg ment ; and we much condemn their parts who give quotations from those sayings, as any direction for the public mind in regard to the character, facts, or other subjects alluded to. What, in reality, and without Prejudice or exaggeration, was the character of Buo- NApA LITE himself ? As a General, it would be absurd to question his claim to be included amongst the Mili tary Commanders of the very first rank; if he were inferior to some in the prudence which guards against defeat ' or p be possessed resources against its consequences , Posessed those qualities for obtaining victory, and for carrying its results to the uttermost, which, as no loan has every specks of even one kind of talent in perfection, must be held as a- full compensation f er a deficiency in the other respect. Taking him away from the direction of his armies, he showed in all matters, public or private, the shrewdness of a man generally clever—always cunning—often shallow—too positive—too undoubting, for a wise tam. So much fur his abilities. Of his moral quali lien, we need s'y but little : lie was not so profligate as llEr.moAnALus ; he was'not so sanguinary as RONEspIERRE; he was capable, now and then, by Way of freak, vanity, or . mere caprice, to do some actions which tell well ; but which will always be found to have been of a nature to cost him no. sacrifice. Of making any real sacrifice, indeed, he does not seem tc ', have been capable ; and above all, throughout his ''Hole career, he certainly never made any to the cause Of truth. For truth, he was most innocent of having Shy, the smallest regard : nay, he appears, from long habit, to have become one of those men, who, however incredible it seems, are absolutely more ready, without any deliberation, to speak falsely, than to speak truly. He talked very fist, as the Widow Belmar says of her maid, and besides his lies, de- Signed or habitual, he very often talked great nonsense. Is this the man, whose sayings are to be industriously recorded and anxiously enquired after ? Is this the nom whose reported opinions of men or things are to be our guides? Is this the man, concerning whom it Matters at all, to know what he said (what he thought, none could ever know), of the General by whom he was vanquished, of the nation by which he Was, with cost, toil, and danger, perseveringly opposed, and finally overthrown ; .or of any other one subject whatever ? Yet have hundreds, perhaps thousands, 'eagerly sought for those sayings in works, of which we own that we grudge the consequent profits ; and these sayings will, perhaps, be deemed the most valua ble parts Of the publication, of a very different nature, to-which we have above alluded, which we consider in la other respects as• an addition to the documents for • the history of the present age ; but of which we decidedly hold the sayings of BUONAPARTE to be the least valuable part. • --,- Tile fallowing are extracts from the Buenos Ayres 1 , 4 ;1 received this morning : 'lustros AYR Z 4.

FEBIWA }IN 17. Forbes, Charge d'Affaires from the United States of Ameri w , bus published iu a very luminous note against the bloehade of the Ports and Coasts of Buenos Ayres, and of all those in the Banda Oriental, occupied by the Buenos Ayres troops. FEHILUARN 21. We have received aceounts from Monte Video, where the Liberal and Minor) corvettes and a schooner had arrived, to repair, the first being in a Very bad condition.. The Empress frigate, which was to convey General-Leon to Rio, is ordered to remain, being thought absolutely necessary to enable the Brazilian naval force to contend with our squadron. It is said, that by the unanimous confession of the officers of the Liberal corvette, that that vessel could not have held out ten minutes longer in the engagement on the 9th, but must have sur rendered or gone to the bottom. , The Captain of The 29th August, killed in the last action, was an Englishman, of, the name of Gleddin, one of the best offi cers in the squadron. When that vessel received the fire which killed the Captain, all the crew abandoned their gnus and ran below. Fan. 24.—The Louisa cutter, which wag sent with a flag of truss to Monte Video, to carry to Admiral Lobo the protest of Mr. Forbes, has returned. We know no more than it brings an acknowledgment of the receipt of the note, and that Senor Lobo was to send the protest to his Court. M.sacn 7.—The Congress. has adopted the law declaring Bum)* Ayres the capital of the republic. MARCH 10.—Senor Dr. D. Mariano Serrano, who has filled the office of President of the Assembly of the Deputies of tipper Peru, has arrived in this capital. It is said that be is charged with an official commission to our Government. On the Sth, the following official proclamation was made : Communications of the 7th arrived last night from Admiral Brown, by which it appears that a despatch from Gen. Lavallejo of the Stl, new forces, under Lieut.-Colonel Lapido, were on their march, and would be to-day opposite Colonia, united with them that blockade it, and co-operating with the squadron.— They will commence decisive operations against that place, from which there is every reason to expect a favourable result. Nothing important had occurred since the preceding communi cation; the gun-boats frequently tired in the place, and did much injury to the enemy, who return their fire very faintly, and with out success. Our seamen anxiously look for the moment when the whole force on the land side would be united, being tired of waiting for a naval action, which the Brazilian squadron con stantly contrived to avoid. Files of Papers have been this morning received at the North and South American Coffee House, from North Atherica. The following are extracts from New:York Papers, dated May : ~,The fine new ship of war Laplata, of tit guns, and commanded by Captain Thompson, sailed from hence on the tith of April, as it is reported, for Carthagena. NEW YORE, ItAY 8. Captain Saven, of the schooner Amelia, had arrived at Phila delphia, and states that on the 24th April a French brig arrived at Havannah, from Vera Cruz, the Captain of which reported that the Custom House at Vera Cruz had been destroyed by fire, to gether with property to the value of 2,000,000 dollars. Private Letters from the Ilavanna mention the report in the same man ner as Captain Saven. We - have received by•express the Etoi/e of yes terday... The following are extracts:— • Us' rshal the Duke of Ragusa, Ambassador Extraordinary at the Court of Russia, arrived at St. Petersburgh on the 13th May. Immediately on his arrival a guard of honour was placed at the gate of his hotel. The same evening his Majesty the Emperor sent one of his Aid-de-Camps to compli ment his Excellency on his arrival. On the whole route from the Russian frontiers, orders bad been given that military honours should be paid to the Marshal. At Riga, be was treated with the greatest distinction, by the Governor-General, the Marquis of Paulueei, and he visited all the civil and military establishments, where he received the honours paid in Russia to the Marshals of the Empire. Nothing is talked of at St. Petersburg!' but the admirable con duct of the Emperor Nicolas during the late troubles. It is im possible to shew greater courage, coolness, and magnanimity. A Sovereign who conducts himself thus at the age of 80, gives fair promise for the future. The Grand Duke Michael is. at Moscow, with the Grand.. Duchess. The Empress-Mother set out to precede the Empress Elizabeth, who returns to Taganrog, and time state of whose health excites much anxiety. in the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of War brought for ward hit budget for the . - expences of the Interior, amounting to 1,772,000 f. which was adopted almost unanimously by the Chamber.

There had been no other recent communication with Buenos-Ayres, than the packet for England.' Ilia Majesty's brig Zephyr, was daily expected. The writer of the following paragraph has the merit of suddenly equipping a formidable navy ,for the ser vice of Spain. The account is evidently a gross exag geration, if not altogether unfounded : " Extract of a letter from the Commereial-rooms, Kingston, Jamaica, dated the 9th of April, 1826, received at the Jamaica Coffee-house By the arrival from St. Jago de Cuba accounts have been received, that the Spanish fleet which recently arrived at that port, consisting of a line of battle ship, five frigatei, three corvettes, and a schooner, bad taken on board their provisions and water, and it was reported, were about to embark the troops so as to be in readiness to proceed to sea the moment the expected re inforcements should appear off St. Jago.

There is, however, another very laborioniand likely to be a very tedious undertaking, just commenced in the Green-park, with a view of s upplying York-house with water. A number of workme n are engaged at present in opening the -ground to a very considerkle. depth, from for the purpose of laying d own a line of i ron York-house almos t d ia g o nally across the pi Grest-park to the ang le at the top of Cons titution-hi l l, and then ce to be continued through pes, extending Hyde-park to the reservoir of water near Groavenor-gate, whence the supply of water both for Buckingham new palace . and York house is to he derived. THE FUNDS. During the early part of last week there was a great deal of business doing in the Funds, and we do not recollect to have seen, for a considerable time past, such a determination on the part of the leading specu lators to raise the price of Stocks. They have pur chased very large sums for the July account, and it seems a little surprizing that, with the whole power of the Hebrew party, applied to bolster up the Funds, the price has not been higher, at any time of the last week, than 801. It intuit be observed also, that co temporaneously with this speculation, or at least a very few days afterwards, there came down a public notice from the Bank Directors, stating that they were wil ling to make the payments on the New Scrip, charging 5 per Cent. interest on the advances : whether the the party going for a rise had any knowledge what the intentions of the Bank were, we have no means of as certaining, but certain it is, that immense sums were bought on speculation only a few days before. This measure of the Bank may, to a certain degree, give relief to the money market, and as such, we have no objection to it; but if this accommodation isto be 'ex tended to assist persons in carrying 011 speculations to bolster up the price of this new Stock, and the Stocks generally, we think the Bank Directors would be lend ing themselves to a measure - pregnant with the most mischievous cdnsequences to the community. It forms no part of the politics, of this Journal to depreciate the credit of our public securities ; on the contrary, we trust we shall be always amongst the first to support and uphold them but we confess we do see in this measure of the Bank Directors, a recom mencement of a system affording facilities for specula tions to raise artificially the price of the Funds, and as such we deprecate their interference. The reat interest excited by the large transactions in the .uglish market has thrown all the Foreign Se curities into the back around, and, with the exception of Russian Stock, which rose to 81-i, during the last week, there was hardly any business doing. The South American Stocks seem entirely neglected. The hold ers in Colombian are waiting with great' iinpatienee to learn whether they are to receive their dividends in July.

Nis Lordship.--Nell, then, try the plan of taking the ►nations according to their dates, for a time, leaving applications tin• In junctions to go elsewhere, if necessary; and looking at the im mense number of Injunctions to which the Great Seal of late had been put, there could be no indisposition to go elsewhere. Mr. HART was quite sure that in the place to which his Lordship alluded, there had been uo disinclination, but the greatest desire to hear motions in the most judicious and satisfactory manner ; notwithstanding this - anxiety on the part of the Court, when minuet were dissatisfied w►th time decision, he hail never under stood there was any objection to taking the opinion of the other branch of the Court. His Loansuie never meant to intimate any such objection ; on the contrary, he was only very sorry there was no easy - review in common cases of his own judgments. There was another timing, though he hardly durst mention it, but he wished to know whether it could be arranged to takes day or two, between the last day of Term, and the tirst Seal, to bear motions. Mr. Houlse feared it was physically impossible. His LORDSHIP wotild lend himself to any convenience of the bar. Mr. Manz said the Muter of the Rolls sat on the mornings between the last day of Term and the First Seal, awl his paper being then much longer than at other times, counsel's attendance was imperative.

Mr. HART had no doubt that the Master would lend himiudf to this arrangement, and that the plan Would dispose entirely of the arrears of motions.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. On Saturday Lord Forrester, Sir Charles Long, and the Speaker of the late House of Commons, had audiences of his Majesty. After dinner his Majesty left town in his travelling carriage and four for the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park. Yesterday afternoon, at• half-past two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Afrairs, in Downing-street, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, the Earls of Liverpool, Harrowby, West moreland, and Bathurst ; Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Excheeper, Viscount Melville ; Mr. Wynn, Mr. Huskisson, Lord Bexley. The Cabinet Council sat in deliberation till half-past four o'clock. Mr. Crotch, the King's messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office on Friday evening with despatches from the Right Hon.

During the last Session 237 private bills were brought into Parliament, and 206 received the Royal assent. It is the etiquette at Cambridge and Oxford that no gentleman speaks to another unless he has been for mally introduced to him ; and a story is told of a stu dent refusing to assist another who had been upset in a boat upon the Cam, and struggling to reach the bank, because he had not the honour of being ac quainted with him.
